They must've recorded that before Ozzy unfortunately passed away. War Pigs right there from Judas Priest with Ozzy, what a great collaboration. It's Peaches Pip Party on this fine Friday, September 26th, 2025. It has been a very hectic day, very hectic.

This morning I was right in- right in on the action. I immediately was like, "Victor, could you please get out to the KBUR studio, I got my interview with Bert Kreischer via Zoom at 8:15." I thought it was at 8:15. I sat there for good amount of time, then I kept waiting and waiting. Traffic School then started, powered by The Advocates. Bert finally joined the call an hour later at 9:15. He thought

East Idaho was in Pacific Time. Yeah, so I basically, throughout the entirety of Traffic School, had to send a link- oh, uh, send a new meeting link. Because you know with Zoom, they want you to pay for the premium version, so that way you get the unlimited time on a meeting? And so you only- you only get 40 minutes with the free trial, the free version of- of Zoom, so my meeting, my first one was already almost expired, so I deleted that one, started a new one, sent it to our connection, who then had to send it to Bert's team, who then had to give it to Bert, a whole thing, right? And this is all happening while Traffic School powered by The Advocates is going on, so there's an extra special Traffic School powered by The Advocates available on demand wherever you get your podcasts, and then also attached to that is the Bert Kreischer interview. I'm gonna try my best to get the video version, uh, uploaded. I do have to leave, like mid-show. The Magic of Radio, the entire show will happen, but I do have to briefly leave the studio around like 3:00, because for some reason... Well- well for, yeah, for some reason,

service departments at, uh, car dealerships, th- they're not open past 5:00 PM, so you can't go get your oil changed after work. No, you have to do it during work, so you have to ruin your day. Not really ruin, but you have to step out, [laughs] leave your job for a brief moment of time to then pay for an overpriced oil change. First world problem, I know. Let me... Call- call if you want to. Le- what's it called? Get a hold of me if you want to at 208-535-1015. It has been a hectic Friday. My brain is all over the place. This weekend I'll be headed down to Salt Lake City, and I have to prepare for my third interview within the p- span of like a week. So, I'll be interviewing Hollywood Undead at the Complex in Salt Lake. Gonna be a fun, fun time there. Anyway, Peaches Pit Party. We'll be back here in just a few. [graphics whoosh] Well, let's just go through a question thread here, huh? What's a career mistake most people don't realize they're making until it's too late? Now, I'm still relatively new to the work field. I am 29. Have been working since '18, around there. So, I'm not one of those old people, old, uh, b- boomers in the- in the, uh, radio industry like, you know, Victor and Jade and Josh and Justin [laughs]. Pretty much everyone in this building besides me and Katie, huh? [laughs] No, but, uh, it's good to know these things. What's a career mistake most people don't realize they're making until it's too late? Your company is just two bad quarters from, uh, firing you. They don't care about the amount of effort you put in, the profits you raked, the amount of sacrifices you made, the health you ruined. All they care about is you being a cog in the machine. That's right, we're getting very negative with this break, huh? But we'll sound optimistic, that's- that's- that's the kicker right there. In radio it's even worse. They'll just randomly fire people because they feel like it. You know, that's what happens in the- in the bigger markets. All of a sudden you're traveling all across the country trying to just stick at a company for more than a year. Here's another one in that same realm. Nobody is irreplaceable no matter how much you think you are, which is real sad to see. You know? Even the biggest of the biggest, Ryan Seacrest, Elvis Duran, Ellen K., Woody, um, Howard Stern, all eventually will come to an end, and then somebody will replace them. And that's what happens. Being liked is more important than your skillset. People think hard work will get you ahead and when in reality being liked is way more important. Yeah, networking. Networking's number one. You gotta know a whole bunch of people. Even if you don't like making friends, make those friends to go further in the workplace. So that- that's enough of this thread. Let's move into some Volbeat by A Monster's Hand on KBUR 101. [graphics whoosh] Like I mentioned at the beginning part of the show, earlier today I interviewed Bert Kreischer. He'll be at the Mountain America Center this, uh, this upcoming Friday, a week from today, Friday, October 3rd. And he'll be bringing the, uh, Permission To Party tour. And so we are going to give away tickets once again

to something else, and that is, of course, the Bert Kreischer show. So starting on Monday at 7:05, listen for the Permission To Party password from Victor. He'll say it on the air. That's your only time to hear it.

And then at any point throughout the day, be caller 20 at 208-535-1015 to win tickets. And then what's really cool is that every person who wins a pair of tickets for this drawing is gonna be automatically put into a- another drawing for an after show pass to meet Bert. Isn't that awesome? You get to meet the- the machine, Bert Kreischer. I'm hoping to get that interview up at some point. Uh, hopefully, hopefully today. I don't know. There's so much stuff that I need to get done that's more so a higher priority compared to just uploading to social media, I know. I'm- I'm sorry. That's just... There's so much crap. Luckily I got the weekend shows all done yesterday.

But I still now have to tonight prepare for the Hollywood Undead interview tomorrow.I have to burp. I'm drinking my Pepsi from Taco Bell. [laughs] Shout-out, I guess. Anyway, starting next week, we'll be giving away tickets to Bert Kreischer live at the Mountain America Center. Listen for that Permission to Party password at 7:05 each weekday morning for your chance to win. [graphics whooshing] You know, why is it that people can get away with so much crap, uh, when it comes to customer service? I forgot who exactly coined that phrase, uh, "The customer is always right." I bet it was, like, some nobody... Nobody liked this person back in the day. Let's look that up again. Who coined the phrase, "The customer is always right"? Who was that goody two-shoes loser? Harry Gordon Selfridge of Selfridge's Department Store in 1909.

Oh. He was born in Wisconsin, a retail guy who founded the, the London-based Selfridge's Department Store. He's credited with coining the phrase in 1909, using it as a slogan to emphasize customer satisfaction, and now it has ruined a whole bunch of people just trying to earn some money, you know? Teenagers wanting to go into their first job, so they get a job at a place like In-N-Out or maybe Subway, Taco Bell as a matter of fact, all of them, and then you always have to hear that manager go, "Well, the customer's always right. We gotta be extra nice to them." Well, if they're a jerk, you deserve to be a jerk right back. That's how, that's how I feel, honestly. If I was a manager of one of these stores, I'd s-... Like, "Hey, someone's giving you lip. Just, just, you know, tell them they're terrible. Don't give them a discount or anything. Just be like, 'Hey, get outta my store.'" [laughs] I guess the owner of a pizzeria in Long Island, New York has gone viral on social media for posting video reenactments of frustrating encounters he's had with customers, but then he went on to say, "Well, I would never actually talk to customers the way I do in these videos, but the videos are just made in good fun." You should. You should talk to them like that. I don't see the problem with that. [graphics whooshing] Tickets to this weekend's Ryder Cup golf tournament in Farmingdale, New York cost a lot. While the tickets start at $750, fans rooting on the US against Europe are getting free food and non-alcoholic beverages. Fans can walk through grab-and-go layouts to grab drinks like water, Gatorade, and soda, as well as food like burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, and snacks. While that's nice, beer prices are no bargain. You ready for this? A 25-ounce Michelob Ultra will set fans back $18 to pay for a Michelob Ultra. I don't even drink, and I know how bad those really are. I've heard from a numerous amount of people. A 19.2-ounce Premium beer costs $19. Major League Baseball players who worry about losing their hair now finally have a way to combat going bald without failing a drug test. You ready for this one? MLB and Nutrafol have signed a new partnership that makes the company, uh, MLB's... And this is no joke, official hair growth partner. The company says it will be able to uniquely support players as the first and only hair growth supplement brand to earn NSF Certified for Sport, which means Nutrafol's hair growth supplements are the only hair growth supplements tested and verified for MLB players' safe use. I mean, if you're bald, might as well just embrace it, really. The skateboard Tony Hawk used to land, or used to hi-... To land an unprecedented 900 in competition, sold for $1.15 million at auction. A trailblazer in the sport of skateboarding, Hawk landed the 900, which involves two and a half midair revolutions during the X Games in San Francisco in June of 1999. While the name of the buyer was not disclosed, Hawk said he hopes that, uh, that it, it is someone who truly appreciates it or that event, and it's not just a flex because they have the money. I would be stoked if it's someone that had a connection to skating or that maybe they're going to display it somewhere for other people to see. Obviously, it's going to be someone with a whole bunch of money just wanting to say, "Hey, this is the skateboard Tony Hawk, you know, used." Somebody like Dana White. You know, that guy collects a lot of stuff just because he can. [laughs] I mean, I would too. That does it for your Shot Clock Sports Update, right here on KBAR 101. [graphics whooshing] So there's this thing called the Taylor effect. I'm sure you're well aware. Taylor Swift is very influential when it comes to her fan base, comes to, uh, the majority of pop culture. She had this song apparently on the last album. I wouldn't know. I only ever liked one song off of that previous album. Was it called Evermore? It's the one with Bon Iver, or Bon Iver. I forgot how you actually say that guy's name. It's called Exile. Kinda liked that track. I dunno. I don't really like most Taylor Swift songs. Some of them are catchy. Some of them are just forced onto you because [laughs] they get played everywhere, and I mean literally everywhere. But supposedly on her last album, Evermore, she had a song called Marjory, a song, uh, the tribute to her late grandmother. So all these people are now, uh, trying to name their kid Marjory, which I feel like is such an old person name, really. I mean, it's for her late grandmother, and how old is Taylor Swift? In her late 30s? So there had to be someone easily born in the very early 1900s,

probably around the same time that Harry Gordon Selfridge said that stupid phrase, "The customer is always right."

Man, I hate that guy already. [laughs] I hate that guy with my whole heart. Uh, you always had to hear that, "The customer is always right." Oh, everywhere, everywhere you work, customer service, anywhere. "The customer's always right," it... M-... So make sure do you-... You cater to them. Stop. Okay, I should stop talking about that. Well, I also think Marjory... Y- you can name your kid anything you want, really. You can. But is it gonna be weird to name something... name your kid Marjory? Yeah. There's also other Taylor Swift names, like Willow, which that's not too bad. Then there's August. Who's gonna name their kid August? Archer, which is not that bad. And then there's Lavender.

Imagine naming my kid Lavender. Lavender Peach.A lifetime of bullying right there. I mean, I technically am an August Peach. I was born in August. But would I name my kid that? Absolutely not. You know, parking is not necessarily a huge issue in this area, thankfully. It's- it's still somewhat of a problem if you try going to a place like the Eastern Idaho State Fair, there's never enough parking, especially if you go to downtown Idaho Falls, downtown Pocatello.

Downtown areas anywhere USA, always are awful. There's one-way streets. There's people parked there all the time. There's different signs that say you can only park here for three hours and then you gotta move. It's quite dumb, right? Everyone wants a good parking spot. But I guess this 30-year-old woman in Winnipeg, Canada, she was taken to the hospital after she was run over following an argument over a parking spot. Have you ever just stood there to save a parking spot for somebody else? That's what this girl was doing. She was standing in an unoccupied parking spot, saving it for a family member who was on the way from the other side of the parking lot. But another driver got there first, wanted to park their car. That is when the, uh, verbal argument broke out between the two. The driver of the waiting SUV then proceeded to enter the parking spot, hitting the woman and trapping her underneath the front tires. Yikes. I- I personally, back when I was in college, it was one of the worst parking experiences. I just went and visited Cal State Fullerton, uh, the last time I was in California. Luckily, it- it... School was just starting at that point. Or I don't think... Was it even started? I don't know. But I found a g- a visitor's spot, got in there just fine. But I remember like having to deal with people standing in parking spots. And then you get that one crazed guy that just goes, "Okay, I'll just run you over." [laughs] And almost kills the person. Uh, genius of the day. By the way, you can hear that every so often on the Victor Wiltz Show at 6:45. Always make sure to say every so often 'cause I don't think he does this segment every show. But this person clearly genius of the day material for just running this 30-year-old girl over. As I'm sure you're well aware, prices are certainly high everywhere. Somebody was just boasting about a restaurant on the, uh, Facebook group, Life In Idaho Falls. And I was so tempted to be that one negative Nancy in the comment section going, "Well, they do taste good." But in all honesty, I really don't like a millennial burger spot that charges you 20 bucks for a burger and then you have to pay like five extra bucks for their, uh, specialty fries. That's how they get away with charging you five bucks, is when they say, "Oh, it's seasoned with this, uh, with this special seasoning that my grandma used to have." And

by the time you're done ordering your simple combo, you paid 30 bucks. And no burger tastes good after paying 30 bucks for it, really. And so a lot of these fast food restaurants, they're trying to charge people a ton of money. And casual dining, of course, now that is for some... Uh, that, that is what most people are doing, going to places like Olive Garden. Uh, uh, I was about to say TGI Fridays, but I think they're all [laughs] out of business. But according to, uh, well, Fox Business here, it says Texas Roadhouse has just beat Olive Garden for the honor of number one in casual dining. I guess Olive Garden had a seven-year run as like America's favorite casual dining restaurant. Texas Roadhouse now number one. But where on Earth is Chili's on that list?

Chili's is by far, uh, superior. Okay, I'm not e- I'm just saying that because I feel like the two-for-$25 deal is the best, okay? Texas Roadhouse, I've been there a couple of times. I'm not the biggest fan of steak. And I personally think the one in- in the area is just way too crowded, way too crowded. To... And, and for me, this, this steak, last time I was there, it was kinda, eh, okay. It didn't really, you know, blow my pants off. Uh, Olive Garden, haven't been there in quite some time. Chili's, I gotta say, if you had to do the, uh, top three casual dining restaurants, number one would have to be Chili's, two would be Olive Garden. I don't even know what I would choose for number three, but it most certainly would not be Texas Roadhouse, I don't think. There's a lot of stuff going on next Friday. First of all, there's Mudvayne, Static-X, and Vended live at the Portneuf Health Trust Amphitheater in Pocatello. There's also Bert Kreischer live at the Mountain America Center the- that- that same day. And then from noon to 2:00, Victor or myself will be at Wackerley Auto Center broadcasting live, giving away these haunted passports. I've talked about these here and there. I just wanna make sure you know about them. These haunted passports are quite cool. Basically, they get you into these four attractions in the area. I'm talking about the Lost Souls Attractions. I'm talking about Slaughter's Realm in Blackfoot, talking about Idaho's Haunted Hospital in St. Anthony, as well as the Haunted Mill in Teton, all right? So if you wanna come to The Remote, you, you can get yourself a pair, a pair of haunted passports. That way, someone can go in there with you who you know. Maybe you take that date with you, you know, and you guys hold onto each other the entire time you're walking through the Lost Souls or whatever, you know. Just make sure to stop by Wackerley Auto Center next Friday from noon to 2:00 PM. Victor or myself will be there broadcasting live on that very, very busy Friday. There have been people asking when will Halloween music start, and we have your answer. Starts Monday, two Halloweenish tracks every hour. K-Bear's Rockin' Halloween haunted by Juicity Vapor. That's right, two Halloweenish songs every hour starting Monday, going all the way to Halloween. Then Halloween day, non-stop Halloween tracks to provide the ultimate soundtrack for the spooky season. If you ever have a suggestion for that soundtrack too, you can always hit us up. Hit up Victor when he's at the studio, hit him up on social media and let him know. Add it to the K-Bear group. We're always down to add more tracks to the, uh, the spoopy library. The spooky library. K-Bear's Rockin' Halloween starting on Monday.Haunted by Juice City Vapor. During that Bert Kreischer interview earlier this morning, we talked a lot about age. And I was asking him, like, "What's it like to really turn 30?" You know. But he's- he's 52. He said 40... "When you turn 40, that's like the best, best day. When you turn 50 it's kind of eh." You know, it's almost, it's more than halfway over,

which is, you know, sad to say. I mean, we're really being down here. [laughs] I- I came across this whole question about people in your 40s, what's something you wish you knew in your 30s? Top answer is one of the saddest things I've been thinking about for quite some time, your parents will get old and need a lot of your help. It sucks every couple of months going back home and vis- visiting my family and seeing my parents' age, you know? I mean, they both just turned 60,

and I definitely need to, uh, make sure I'm there for them the same way they were always there for me. Work on your health now while it is easier. It definitely begins to become more of a challenge as you age. We think we are invincible when we are young, but time catches up faster than you think. Eliminate bad habits now. Yeah, I need to just lay off the fast food, lay off the soda, get back to the way that I was in high school, you know? Posture is important. These are just a whole bunch of generic safety tips, that health, savings, and, uh, real friendships matter way more than chasing status or pleasing everyone. Sure, sure. It's going to go a lot faster than your 20s. That's one thing my dad have al- has always said. It's- [laughs] i- it goes a whole lot faster the older you get. Anyway, well, [laughs] there was that uplifting break. All right, here we go. We got two of them. We can choose between either one. A kid wanted to check out the wheel well of a passenger jet, so he did. Or a man got his head stuck inside a traffic light. Okay, I wanna know about the man stuck, who stuck his head inside a traffic light. Here we go. It's loading. Come on. I like, I like the beginning sentence already. Now, this is what you call a head-on collision. A man in China gone viral on social media after he got his head stuck inside a traffic light. It sounds impossible to even imagine, really, but here's what happened. The man was riding an electric scooter, collided with a temporary traffic light. Somehow his head got stuck inside the metal casing, was wedged so tightly that it took firefighters nearly 40 minutes to cut him free. So imagine driving past him and you just see him and go, "Ha ha, loser." Fortunately, although not for him, the bizarre scene was captured on camera, shared all over social media. Oh, I see it right here. Oh wow, it really is bad. He kinda looks like Signal Head. [laughs] Like a weird c- a weird person from another dimension. [laughs] A signal for a head. Shows him lying in the street. [laughs] I bet there was a lot of people that just drove by and laughed. I feel bad. Okay? I hon- I honestly do feel bad. But would I be one of those dudes that would sort of chuckle to myself in the car if I drove past that? Absolutely. Okay, I wanna learn more about this story that I briefly mentioned before, choosing the other story for What The Headline? just a tad bit earlier. Curiosity nearly killed the kid in Afghanistan. This 13-year-old boy took his curiosity to new heights, literally. He managed to slip past security at the airport in, uh, Kabul and climbed into the wheel well of a passenger plane, uh, bound for Delhi, India. No one noticed, so he remained in the tight, freezing space with little oxygen for the entire two-hour flight. Miraculously, he survived. When the plane landed, he wandered around the tarmac until security finally noticed him and took him into custody. He told them that he was curious about the plane's landing gear and didn't know how dangerous it was to climb into it. No kidding. He said he also wanted to go to Iran and believed this particular plane would take him there. The boy was eventually sent back to Afghanistan on the same plane, although inside the cabin this time. It would've been funny as punishment. They're like, "Yeah, you gotta go back in there, back in the landing gear. Sorry." Do people actually get offended if you call a band dad rock? Like, if you call Slipknot dad rock, which according to Victor and Jade, Slipknot is. And I have to say it's true, their peak was back in, what, 2005 when they were at their biggest. Biggest Slipknot album. I mean, the big- the biggest one, their self-titled debut, Slipknot [1999), got triple platinum status. Had Wait and Bleed on there, Spit It Out, whole bunch of great tracks. Iowa was released in 2001. Everyone said back in the day that was the angriest album they've ever heard. But now, I mean, come on. It is considered, uh, dad metal in that case. So I came across this whole question on Reddit, r- from r/rockmusic, what bands would you consider dad rock? Billy Joel? [laughs] So- I mean, Billy Joel is granddad rock at this point. Foo Fighters. I like that the one guy who said Foo Fighters, "Sorry." That's like, no, the- the Foo Fighters are definitely dad rock. Why are people putting all these classic artists like Huey Lewis

[laughs]? Metallica, I mean, that's- that's a given. Come on. Steely Dan. They're all very obvious answers here. I was hoping s- for some more cutting edge, uh,

ragebait-y answers. "AC/DC, surely the most dad rock band ever." I agree. I agree. I'm not offended by that. They've- they've got the classics. Maybe I should ask that for Depeche their own at some other day. Probably on Monday I'll ask it. So this popped up. It said, "GTA V actor suggests reading a book instead." And I already knew it was the guy who played Trevor, Steven Ogg. We've all been waiting around for GTA VI for a very, very long time. It was first put- put in development back in 2018, but one of those key members of GTA V

couldn't care less if it never comes out. Yeah, Steven Ogg, uh, he was asked at a recent gaming convention if he was excited for GTA VI, and he said, "I'm not a gamer. I've never played video games, and that includes GTA V." [laughs] And someone told him, "Hey, you should play GTA V." And he just said, "Why?" Uh, [laughs] and th- he did that weird thing where someone said, "Hey, one day maybe you should because it's such a great game." And he said, "Well, then one day you should read Crime and Punishment."

And he went completely blank. He seems like a weird guy, really. I mean, honestly. Have you ever checked out Steven Ogg's Instagram? Go to it. Steven Ogg, S-T-E-V-E-N space O-G-G. Look him up on Instagram. See the type of crap he uploads. He is certainly a hippie that just likes to be in the woods opposite... I mean, he's definitely a weird dude that hangs out in the woods, sort of similar to Trevor Phillips. But I- I don't know. Just- just look him u- look it up. See what I'm talking about.
